2/10 Poor

The room was disgusting, my bed was in a plastic bag to cover stains ig, the floor was broken and the shower drain was clogged whit hair and other gross stuff
Caroline, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was no hot water for my entire stay. They also have a guest policy where I was forced to pay additional fees anytime I had someone in my room. Worst experience I’ve had.
